About this day nursery

Lynwood Nursery, located in Nelson, Lancashire, was established in 2002 and operates as a full-day care setting for children aged 1 to 4 years. The nursery provides a homely and happy environment where staff prioritise children's emotional well-being, observed through babies giggling, toddlers smiling, and older children hugging their friends upon arrival.

With a well-planned curriculum tailored to individual interests, staff effectively support children's development, preparing them for school readiness. This includes fostering early language skills in babies, expanding vocabulary in older children through engaging activities like a shopping game, and teaching important rules.

The nursery also places a high emphasis on safety, with a buzzer system for door alerts and electronic fobs, and actively teaches children about risk assessment, such as identifying slippery surfaces during water play. 45pm, for 49 weeks of the year, excluding bank holidays.

The team comprises nine dedicated childcare staff, with two holding Level 5 qualifications and seven holding Level 3 qualifications.
